Hmm. Ok, deleted and recreated with the good version to remove the history. Semi-protection and move-full-protection of infinite duration. Did I miss anything?

It may be better to merge his article in with that of the union he's head of. There don't appear to be all that many sources out there we could use to help us build a better article, but I don't pretend to have looked to closely. He is head of a decent-sized (?) union, after all. We'll see.

Oh, and Jimbo, I hope you've noticed you might be appointing a new arbitrator pretty soon. How much of our time has that poisonous piece of slime, Daniel Brandt, wasted? God damn him.
